Databook vol. 2: Health & Lifestyle

Health 2020 researchers gathered general information through a questionnaire about aspects of people's lives that were not diet- or alcohol-related (these aspects are covered in separate volumes of this databook).

The questions covered people's social life, education and occupation, family medical history, health, smoking, physical activity and, for women, reproductive history, hysterectomy and female hormone use. A separate questionnaire about feelings was given to English-speaking participants.
